Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, most definitely that is -- we will -- we are going to be -- the work that we do, you know -- and I think the thing is that when people say, you know, told me a hundred times that this is a problem, we have all of that, the work is being added, every BF that every Member has sent to me, we have that as statistical data to help generate what the main issues are of our medical travel program. Also, the data that's been going into the -- like, Office of the Client Experience, especially through the Indigenous patient advocates, they have been tacking data, and medical travel is probably the highest on the list, so we have the most robust data on the issues, especially from the communities, small communities, people that are having to travel more. I mean, you know, when people travel from Yellowknife to Edmonton, yes, but when people are travelling from small communities -- like, I recently travelled into the Sahtu. We have heard from the Member from Sahtu and the community that, you know, going into Yellowknife -- or going into Norman Wells, you know, there's issues between there and the community and getting to Yellowknife. So all that information is -- has been portrayed back to the department and is gearing the work that they're doing, so it's kind of like their -- it's their checklist that they have to kind of work within. So I just want to make sure that everybody knows that I truly have heard residents and Members of all of these concerns, especially when it relates to seniors.

We have the Indigenous advisory board that's part of our health unit that has representatives from all our Indigenous governments. We work and we hear this from the -- I've heard it from the Council of Leaders. So all of you that have leaders that sit at the Council of Leaders, I've heard it from them as well, and I'm continuously having to give updates to them as well and just where we're at. So I just want to make sure that Members know that I'm committed to making sure that we're not just going to do band-aid things. We're going to put together a good proposal. I mean, that's the thing is the work that needs to be done needs to be done, and it's going to take some time. And, you know, I don't want to rush it because it needs to have all the pieces in place. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
